Chapter 7: Inspecting the Baimao River
King Zhao was happy and said casually: "Xuan." β
"Your Majesty, Captain Han's life has been saved." Gongsun Fu left the table, bowed again, and said hello to King Zhao.
"It's all up to Ling Gong to run." Zhao Wang Zhi was complacent, and the happiest thing in these days was the killing of Shi Fan Junyan, the magistrate of Xihai County.
"The minister's scholar, Wen Yanbo, see my king." Bow down, "May my king be happy for a long time." β
"Get up, Old Wenge is polite."
"Thank you, Lord Long. Ling Gong is also there. He bowed to Gongsun Fu again, and then presented the bamboo slips with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is the confession of the Tingwei Mansion, it has been investigated, Han Taiwei did not make friends with the princes, it is indeed the disappearance of Han Feixue, the little daughter of the Han family, so I prepared a generous gift and asked the princes and county guards to help find it." But Han De ......"
"Alright. As long as you don't make friends with the princes. How are the other crimes convicted, and are there any results? β
"Thunder and rain are not heaven's grace. Fan Tingwei said: "Tingwei, the law of the world is accurate. According to the law, the family should be raided and exterminated. However, there are eight discussions, reductions, and I am executed, and my family members do not correct them. If you are not greedy, you will be confiscated according to the number. ββ
"Can I pardon?"
"Your Majesty, if the punishment is too lenient, it will be the common people who will suffer after all."
"Got it. Go down, tell the Tingwei Mansion, and escort Han De to the palace. β
"Obey." Bow down, "Ten thousand years of the king." β
After Wen Yanbo left, Gongsun Fu also got up to say goodbye.
"Wait, how is Wen Yanbo?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister of Yao Shun, the minister of Ji Xuan."
King Zhao was thoughtful.
On the other side, Pan Youguang stayed in Xihai County to accompany Zhou Congzhi River. He knew that this was Ling Gong's desire to cultivate and promote talents, although Zhou Cong had carefully investigated by others, but it was a rumor after all. I have heard that Zhou Cong is not corrupt or corrupt, he has served two terms as a county magistrate and one as the head of industry and commerce in a large county, but he often wears cloth clothes on the street. Yes, at the age of twenty, he made a county order, which is only available to the children of the gate valve, but he did not settle down in a side branch, but he had the luck to be recommended by the envoy of the state festival. However, whether it was procured in Fengyang or sent to the Han family as a housekeeper, he was meticulous and did not take a penny, which became the eye of Han Taiwei.
But this goods were too incorruptible, and on the first day of being a guest at the Zhou Mansion, if it can be called the Zhou Mansion, Pan Gongzi was surprised.
When Pan Gongzi planned to visit without telling him according to the address provided by Gao Yuan, he felt that he had made a mistake.
Downing Street, who would have thought that the courtyard wall of a house in a street is a brick and stone wall? Looking at the rows of mud walls that used to be all made up. They are all petty officials and civilians, and they all wear yellow and white shorts. Half the way through the walk in his brocade robe was already gray, and he looked down at the dirt road like an incense burner, and saw that the black cloud shoes and white socks had turned yellow. Alas, where is this the king's house?
And there are girls and young women on both sides of the road who are doing female redness at the door, and when they see themselves, their cheeks are red, and they all get up one after another, and they want to stop talking, and they want to refuse to leave, which is similar to the bitch in Fengyue Field.
There were even a few bare-bottomed kids who pissed directly after peeing.
I finally found the door, and it was an old woman who opened the door, and her hands were black and silky wrinkles, and it seemed that the black mud could not be washed off for decades.
Zhou Cong himself came to greet him in a short dress, and he was dressed like a low-level person in his own house.
looked at the sludge seats, and had to sit down with Zhou Cong and greet each other. "Brother Zhou is really poor." "It's just that things gather like like, and those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. Brother Zhou's mud is not stained. But the little boy is of school age. In this dirty place, it is not worth stealing for Brother Zhou. β
"What Brother Pan said is extremely true. The ancients moved their homes three times. Zhou Cong is unscrupulous and has nothing to rely on. can only let the old and small place silt. β
"Brother Zhou doesn't have to blame himself. It is also a blessing to be able to go deep into the people, to understand the suffering of the people, and to be warm and cold. It's just that you have to have a good teacher to teach you. β
When it came to dinner, I ate some small rice. Pan Youguang said goodbye to Zhou Cong and made an appointment to inspect the water situation by the Baimao River.
In Pan Youguang's view, inspection, after all, we are five high-quality generals, and it is true that we go deep into the grassroots, but Shangguan must always have prestige. He changed into an official's regular uniform, put on a five-grade crown belt, and rode to the Baimao River Wharf to make an appointment.
Zhou Cong didn't ride a horse, didn't sit in a sedan chair, and didn't even ride a donkeyβhe came by walking. Wearing a green cloth gown, I washed it many times, and it turned white.
"You're a bleak soul! Save your kid is a clean official? Are you a cadre? He had no choice but to dismount and accompany him on the boat.
Originally, Zhou Cong planned to show the fish bag to prove his identity, but now he is exempt, just brush Pan Youguang's face. The two got on the boat and entered the cabin, only to find that Yingying Yanyan was accompanied by a geisha.
Geisha, pleasing the guests, naturally rushed to Pan Youguang, who was gorgeously dressed and had "Shangguan prestige". Eight geisha surrounded Pan Youguang. For a while, there were two geisha who couldn't squeeze in, so they had to cross their waists and be angry.
Pan Youguang is a veteran of Fengyue Field, so he naturally took the two geisha in the ring nearby, and said, "There are a lot of girls today?" Pan didn't know which one to hug. Brother Zhou, you're welcome, brother, I want these two, and the remaining six girls are all for you. β
"Childe, what do you mean?" "Who is that Brother Zhou?" "What's the costume?"
"You fans, shut up! This is the county magistrate Shi Zhou Cong Zhou Changshi. In the near future, it is necessary to seal one side of the frontier and become a county Ming Mansion! You guys with eyes and beads deserve to be fans for the rest of your life! β
"Huh? It turned out to be Mingfujun? "Yes, the six fans have promoted Zhou Cong in advance. Zhou Cong, who was originally ignored, was immediately surrounded by six fans. Even the two who had been hugged by Pan Youguang were itching in their hearts and eager to think about it.
Zhou Cong stuck his head out of the pile of powder: "Several, Brother Pan is the Qincha of the imperial court." The general of Sikong Mansion made it. Climb his high branches, and you will be the top fans of the capital. β
The two geisha who were hugged by Pan Youguang lit up when they heard this, as if Pan Youguang was the prostitute who entered Beijing and the brothel in Beijing. The one who was originally hugged became the one that was hugged, and one by one hugged Pan Youguang's neck, eager to hang on him. Pan Youguang only felt that his neck was tight, his shoulders sank, and he sat down on the bed. Seeing that the two top brands were indeed not vulgar fans, he lay back happily, and the two geisha pressed on themselves.
I only heard a voice from outside the pile of fat powder: "Brother Zhou, let's stop here." Less than half an hour after eating, Quan was late for a nap. β
Zhou Cong had already been weighed and planned to stay as the "county guard outer room" The six fans pressed on the other bed, there was an extra lip print on his face, his shirt was stripped to expose his shoulders, and the waistband of his trousers had been loosened. But he still remembers that business matters, and his face matters: "Stop!" β
Six pink heads reluctantly crawled off him. The geisha, who had kissed him a few times, pouted and thoughtfully helped him get dressed up.
"Brother Pan, let's work first."
Pan Youguang scolded his mother again in his heart: "Zhou Cong, you are a thousand knives." Your wife and children are hot on the kang, Lao Tzu, I haven't touched a woman in two months on a business trip with Ling Gong. Can't I play first and then work when I'm comfortable? "Thinking about Zhou Cong's outfit again, it is estimated that this workaholic will not stop until he is tired.
But in the end, it's a friend you just met, and you still need to be polite. So I had to breathe a sigh of relief and return to the state of a sage, then I got up with a smile and pushed the two fans away with a kiss: "The two girls are waiting for me." Brother Zhou, let's take a look first. β
